The Pfhor were an alien species that ruled over a vast interstellar empire, comprised of many subservient client races. Hailing from a world of unknown location or make, the Pfhor terrorized the galaxy, subjugating many species such as the Wasps, Drinniol and S'pht.[1][2]

They attacked the UESC Marathon on July 25, 2794, when the rampant AI Durandal compromised the location of the human colony of Tau Ceti IV. This initial raid would be successfully repelled, though the colony would not escape the Pfhor Empire's swift retaliation. Nevertheless, this contact with Durandal and humanity at large would begin a series of events that would inevitably crush their Empire.
